- 2. Abstract Children depend on adults to regulate their own levels of stress and other uncomfortable emotions that may come as they grow. These emotions are anger, anxiety, and fear, amongst others that for a young child can be taunting to control. They depend on their parents to level their own emotions and to learn how to regulate stress due to their fears, anxieties and angers. Taking this into account training a child to sleep on their own can come with major consequences later in life if done sudden. Using tactics that include punishment, yelling or scaring them into staying in their own room is something that can increase their stress level that correlates with mental health problems later in life.
- 10. Conclusion There are better ways to manage discipline in children. Learning is the first step to helping a child become a healthy adult. Parents need to learn at what point the child has the mental capacity to deal with levels of stress.

Editor's Notes
- Hello, My name is Alexandra Jacobs Chaboya, My research topic is: Children Sleep: What Stress can Bring in Later Life to Children Sleeping Alone
- The Abstract statement gives an overview of the paper including literature review, Discussion and Conclusions. It focus on the main points of the Paper and the reason for its importance.
- The following list are the highlights of my presentation that begins with literature review that discusses the major key components of my paper followed by discussions and closing with questions and comments. The topics are CIO, Fear, and Stress Levels, and benefits of management.
- CIO stands for Cry it out, where children are left on their own during the night as they first begin to sleep alone. CIO is a traditional method used by parents and still used today as the primary discipline method for teaching children to sleep alone (Elliot, 2010).
- When we place a young new born to sleep in his own room by using the method of crying it out we are setting up not only the child but the parents for a rather painful experience. Children at this young of age cannot manipulate their parents and the fact that they cry is for basic needs that are necessary to feel save and develop. The high levels of stress that come from this produce cause a pain that it's not only emotional but also physical for the child. When the young born stops crying this shows that he has given up in help ever coming, and thus what may seem like a victory could very well be the set up for a child who has trouble trusting.
- As children get a little older they hope for their parents approval. They listen and attempt to do everything the same as their parents. When it comes to bed time it is the same. However as young as they are they still don't know how to control their fears and while parents think that telling their child the monster under the bed will get him if he moves away from it, it is not helping them sleep or not be frighten later in life. Stress levels go high but the child will not act on it for fear of not being loved, then you could begin to develop phobias as well as lack of sleep. The child could become completely different during the day with no real energy and over cling that fallows them straight to adulthood.
- Parents who are trying to have their child trained to sleep in his/her own bed. Develop high levels of stress that turn into anger. The child can feel this change in attitude and can become reluctant to fall sleep since the child is sensing danger. This turns into a rather exhausted parent who's efficiency at caring for their child and or the house/work can go down. This can turn into painful episodes of self doubt, which triggers a low self steam and thus the believe that they are not a good parent, worker or spouse.
- As the child develops into their adolescent and adult stages of life, they can develop certain mental disorders due to the high level of stress they had. There is a strong correlation between mental disabilities and stress at young ages and the child can have a hard time interacting with others.
- Though many like to argue that it is not safe for parents to co-sleep with their child there has been more research done that shows different results. In asia they have no name for SIDs children are less likely to suffer from it. A mother will not role over her child or smother him/her either they were aware even while sleep of their child. Feeding the child at night is also easier and if the breast feeding relationship is great then the awake time becomes less thus more sleep is granted. There is more time to bond making the child feel safer in his new environment so once the child is ready to move to his own bed by gentle guiding s/he will do it whiningly and unafraid, becoming independent.
